3/4 and 4/4/ alternating measures
So I want to make a song that alternates between 3/4 and 4/4 each measure (so I like a giant 7/4 beat)
As opposed to editing each measure with 3/4 and 4/4, is there any way I can tell musescore to automatically create the next measure to the different time signature?

Why not write in 7? You already understand, all you need to do is tell the players.

I agree. Writing in 7/4 makes more sense and there is no way to alternate between 3/4 and 4/4 without entering a new time signature every measure.

If the request is related to the beaming (?),
ie 3/4 + 4/4 vs. 7/4, you can adjust the beaming:
Right-click on the 7/4 time signature -> Time signature properties -> In the Note groups panel (here in this case, if you want the same beaming by default with 3/4 and 4/4), click on the notes 3, 5, 7, 11 -> Ok
Result: in the 4th measure on the image below:

No, I just wanted something like the first two measures, and I think I'll just go with a grand 7/4 measure (it was simply easier to read 3/4 and 4/4 as opposed to 7/4)
Thanks for your suggestions everyone
